Winter 2021
The Gold Foundation is thrilled to bring you the first edition of the Gold Humanism Honor Society's Humanism in Practice: A newsletter for members to stay connected throughout their careers. Long after you have left your medical school's chapter, GHHS offers incredible opportunities throughout your career.
The most important part of this newsletter is you. We invite you to share your experiences with your colleagues here, so that together, we are stronger in promoting humanism in healthcare.
Are you doing advocacy work that you'd like to share? Are you planning an event or doing research that a peer might be able to participate in? Would you like to share your art?
We look forward to hearing from you,
Louisa, Stacy & Michelle

Sign up to be a facilitator at grief & resilience workshop at our 2022 virtual conference
We are exploring a possible session to address grief and resilience as part of our virtual conference in spring 2022 for the GHHS International Initiative. During this interactive workshop, members of GHHS and the Gold community will participate in small, intimate groups. They will be prompted by a facilitator to reflect, write, and share individual reflections and discover personally useful coping tools they can draw on in the future.
If you are interested in collaborating with Kat Hurley, LMSW, APHSW-C, a Palliative Care Social Worker at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian, to create the session or serve as a facilitator, please sign up. |
